5 eggs weigh 2/3 of a pound. How much does each egg weigh? A:1/5 pound B:2/16 pound C:2/15 pound D:1/4 pound

C. 2/15

Step-by-step explanation:

So since 5 eggs weigh 2/3 of a pound, you have to divide 2/3 by 5 to find how much each egg weighs.

2/3/5 is the same as multiplying 2/3 by 1/5.

This gives you 2/15.

step-by-step explanation:

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
